<P>Hello everyone.... Well thanks for everyone helped me get my brake situation sorted out. the bus stops great but isn;'t running very good. The bus has deveped an intermitent power loss/hesitation/low rpm bucking thing. This occurs at all rpms and on hills as well as flat ground. A 72 westy owner who was behind me said there was smoke (black) coming out of the pipe every once and a while. I made it back home and I checked the wires, plugs, vacum leaks on the side of the road. I did not see anything obvious. I thought it might have been bad gas&nbsp; so I put octane boost/inj clearner into the tank. Still power loss. I was thinking maybe one of the plugs is bad so I am going to pull them and take a closure look, also Maybe a clogged fuel filter???? I am not sure. I know the idle stabilizer doesn't work but it has been like that for a while until i find a new one (hint, if anyone has an idle stabilizer control unit [behind the taillight] please let me know) I am gonna go through teh archives now but please and thankyou for any help.</P>
